After marrying the rough man Orion, the little peasant girl was spoiled

Chapter 315 Dad, you don’t care about Dabao anymore.
When the uncle saw Cheng Huai coming to buy meat, he gave half a catty more as a gift. Cheng Huai knew better when he held it in his hands.

He took some extra money and handed it over.

The butcher waved his hand quickly, "It's only three kilograms, not much. You can take it."

The news of Cheng Huai's killing of the bandits has spread throughout the small villages, and everyone is grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

The bandits burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. If it hadn't been for this strong man and the government, they still don't know what would have happened.

Cheng Huai counted the coins and put them aside, then carried the meat and pigs into the water and left.

The town was still a bit chaotic, and there were few people selling things. Cheng Huai didn't plan to go back, so he went back to the village.

"Cheng Huai is back."

"Is there still chaos in the town?"

When passing through the village, people who usually don't say hello would say a few polite words to him.

Cheng Huai said nothing and just nodded at the other party.

The man from the Cheng family was as taciturn as ever, and no one thought it was strange.

When he got home, Cheng Huai walked outside the yard and shouted: "Daughter-in-law, I'm back!"

"Okay." The woman's gentle voice came from the house.

Cheng Huai walked to the door, pushed open both sides of the door, and saw Jiang Miao bringing water.

"Master, come in quickly, I'll fan you for a while."

The big black dog was jumping on the edge, sniffing the basket in his hand.

Cheng Huai carried the basket to the table and helped Jiang Miao sit down, "Daughter-in-law, I'm not hot. I bought three kilograms of meat and a few kilograms of pig waste. Let's get some in the afternoon."

"How is the town? Is anyone open for business?" Jiang Miao wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and put her palm against his face.

"It's still in chaos, and the government won't be able to control it for a while."

Now there are refugees everywhere, and all the wild vegetables have been dug up, so they only rely on the government's little food.

Jiang Miao fanned him and said warmly: "Mother went to the village entrance to get food in the morning, but each family's share was missing by more than half."

Now that all the wild vegetables on the mountain top have been dug up and the water is gone, it’s really hard to endure.

Recently, many people have come to the village, all wanting to come into the village to get food.

But there is not much food in the village. There are only a few families who are rich, but it is only enough for their own homes.

Cheng Huai took the fan in her hand and fanned her with a solemn expression, "Don't worry, there will always be a way."

"Well, let's go and cook some vegetables in the back." Jiang Miao smiled with her eyes bent, and patted him on the back.

There is no use worrying about this all the time.

After closing the door, Cheng Huai led Jiang Miao to the back.

Yu Ying came out of the kitchen and glanced at Cheng Huai with disgust, "Take Miao Yatou into the house, it's so hot in the back."

"Mom, I've been sitting for a long time and I need to take a walk." Jiang Miao stood under the eaves, which was just enough to provide shade.

Yu Ying nodded, "Then be careful and go in when it's hot. There's nothing to do."

After saying that, he entered the kitchen again and took the two children out, "Go and play with your mother. Don't stay here and get in the way."

"Nai, you just don't care about Dabao anymore." Dabao stamped his feet, turned around and ran towards Jiang Miao angrily.

Xiaobao quickly followed, "Brother, wait for me."

Cheng Huai reached out to catch the two children, spanked them with his big hand, "Run slowly."

"Dad, you don't care about Dabao anymore." Dabao shook his head, and he didn't look sad at all.

Jiang Miao couldn't help but laugh, and asked them to move a bench and sit on the edge to fan them.

The man brought some water and put it on the bench next to him. "Daughter-in-law, call me if you need anything."

"Okay." Jiang Miao went to the house to get some needlework. A cool breeze occasionally blew under the eaves, but the place where the sun was shining was still extremely hot.

After having lunch and resting for a while, the family sat outside in the shade and washed the pigs.

"Mom, this smells so bad." Dabao and Xiaobao both wrinkled their noses and looked suspicious.

Yu Ying sat on the edge and snorted: "You say it's smelly, but you haven't eaten less before." If it weren't for the fear that they wouldn't be able to clean it, she would have forced them to wash it.

"Then it must be the milk that tricked me into eating it." Dabao scratched his nose and stood a little further away.

Yu Ying looked at them funny, "Don't eat it until later. If you eat it, you'll have to take my last name."

"Then what will I be called from now on?" Dabao looked over curiously.

"From now on, you will be called Yu Dabao, and Xiaobao will be called Yu Xiaobao." Yu Ying joked with a smile.

Dabao's eyes lit up, and he came up to Cheng Huai and Jiang Miao, "Father, mother, Yu Dabao sounds good, I want to call him this."

Cheng Huai glanced at him expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you just call me Jiang Dabao?"

"This is fine." Dabao was momentarily confused.

Jiang Miao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She looked at her man's helpless eyes and looked sideways at the two children. "You can call me whatever you like, whatever you like."

It took a lot of time to clean the pigs, but it was worth it when I thought that there would be delicious meat later.

After putting the fragrant leaves and star anise, the pigs were stewed in water, and Cheng Huai and Yu Ying took turns going to the kitchen to watch the fire.

Jiang Miao took her two children to the front and found dried sweet potatoes for them to eat.

Things are going well at home, but there are people outside who can't stand it any longer.

As the sun set in the afternoon, Yu Ying originally planned to go to the village to see where there were wild vegetables to dig, but she heard the news that Old Man Wang had passed away.

It is said that he was reluctant to eat rice and left it all to his son Wang Chuncai.

I couldn't hold on and starved to death.

Old Man Wang was the first to die of starvation in the village. Now that there is no money or food, the Wang family cannot hold a funeral.

I burned incense and money and paper, and asked two people in the village to help me find a place to dig a hole and bury the person.

Wang Chuncai and Liu Yan knelt in front of the grave and cried until night before going back.

The drought is really killing people, and the people in the village are even more panicked. They are reluctant to eat food, and they only eat a little, hoping to leave more for their children.

Some people went directly to the porridge soup place in town to fill their stomachs with porridge.

Early the next morning, Cheng Huai opened the door and saw several families kneeling in front of the door with their children.

All of them were so hungry that their faces were sallow and their muscles were thin, and they were extremely weak.

"Sister He family, what are you doing? Get up quickly." Yu Ying hurriedly pulled them up.

"Sister Yu Ying, I can't help it. There are five children at home, and we really don't have that much food." The woman lowered her head and cried, holding the children's hands awkwardly.

Yu Ying sighed angrily, "You get up first, and we'll figure out the rest later."

She had food at home, but she didn't know how long she would have to work that day. She couldn't give away all the food because her family would be hungry by then.

"Please, I will work for your family. I can do any kind of work, as long as the child can eat." The woman kowtowed directly and cried louder.

Yu Ying had no choice but to turn to look at Cheng Huai.

Cheng Huai was silent for a moment, pursed his lips and said, "Mom, let them drink some water first."

He turned around and went back to the house, and saw Jiang Miao waking up. He walked over, hugged her and sat up, and gently pushed the hair away from her face with his big hands.

"Daughter-in-law, have you had enough sleep?"

The man's expression was solemn, and Jiang Miao thought of the crying outside.
